Audio Transcripts & Summaries Are Now on Mobile đ

Since we launched audio transcriptions and summaries on desktop, tons of you have been asking for the same magic on mobile.
Well⊠itâs here. âĄ
Now you can handle voice messages on mobile without having to hit play.
Whatâs new in Volt (for mobile):
Anytime you receive an audio message on WhatsApp, Volt will:
- đ§ Summarize long audios (over 300 characters) right at the top of the message.
- âïž Transcribe the full audio so you can read it like a regular text.
- đ± Show everything inside the same chatâno switching apps, no copy-paste.
- đ Work in any language, even when people mix them (yes, your bilingual friend is covered).
You can tap âRead moreâ to expand the full transcript if you need the full context.
Fully customizable (because not everyone wants summaries from Mom đ )
Inside Voltâs mobile settings, you can configure:
- Whether transcriptions are automatic or triggered manually (via the Volt ⥠emoji!).
- If you want to enable it in groups or just 1:1 chats.
- Which lists or contacts receive transcriptions (for example, you can exclude the Family list or specific people).
Got someone who really doesnât want their voice notes turned into text? No problemâyou can exclude them entirely.
Why it matters
Letâs face it: you canât always listen to audios.
Maybe youâre In a meeting, walking the do, rocking a baby to sleep, just not in the mood for a 3-minute voice note from a friend who âjust wanted to say hiâ
Now, Volt gives you the power to:
- Glance at a summary
- Skim the transcript
- Decide whatâs worth your time
Weâre just getting started
Volt is for people who actually use WhatsApp to get things done. Audio summaries on mobile are just one more way to give you back control of your time.
More features coming soon. Stay tuned âĄ
